Abstract
We have applied Kramers-Kronig analysis to reflection spectra to determine the optical constants of ammonium hydroxide and of aqueous solutions of ammonium chloride and bromide. From considerations of the absorption indices k (v) we conclude that ammonium hydroxide consists of a solution of NH 3 in water, in which NH3 molecules are hydrogen bonded to neighboring water molecules. The spectrum of ammonium hydroxide differs from the spectra of ammonium salts, in which bands characteristic of NH4+ ions are prominent. The existence of ammonium hydroxide as an aerosol in planetary atmospheres is briefly discussed.
